Are special hot wheels cars needed to run on this track?

Most cars work on the track. there are some exceptions. Cars (trucks) that are tall tend to not work. The lower the top of the car, the faster it tends to run.

Not really. Some cars are too heavy and don't work well, but my grandson has a fair-sized car collection so it isn't an issue.

No, almost any hot wheels car will work - as long as it is not a metal car (too heavy to go around the track) OR a body style that is boxy (like 70's muscle cars - can't fit under the loop to get onto track), extra long (will get caught winding back on the track), or a weird shape (will not pass through the motor and get thrown out with the correct force to propel through the track).

Wow. Wish we had the luck of some others here. We went through a collection of about 100 cars and only found one that would work.

I've noticed some complaints from other people about trying to find cars that will work. For me, the Dual Fuelers are fantastic!

Sorry I can't help you. I do not have that type of track. We have an old brio set and a Thomas the Tank Engine starter set.

This is a gift for my grandson, so we haven't tried it. All the Smart Wheels vehicles work on this track & all the tracks connect together. I don't know if you can buy cars separately or not. I hope this helps.

Yes, but heavier cars will struggle to finish the lap. Flat sport regular hot wheels cars will be fine.

This racetrack was my Grandson's favorite present when he was 4 years old (Xmas 2013). We keep it at our house with many of his toys (more room) and he still loves the track and cars. However, the track's magic is the power stations that accelerate the cars when they pass thru the spinning wheels. I don't think a "drag strip" setup would work with this track. It's one car at a time. His inventive little mind got busy and added some giant Leggo Blocks to his layout, and created a road track thru a magic castle!

Yes, the track fits Disney cars, in addition to Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars. My son has also used it for his wooden Thomas trains.

Any hotwheel will go on the track but to keep them going and going you need lighter longer cars. I think some five pack expressly say track on them. But 5 packs like the farrari five pack or exotic five pack should work well.

The Matchbox and/or Hot Wheels cars would have to be pushed on the track. The train and cars that work on these tracks are battery powered and go on their own. Not sure if that's what you're asking or not. Hope it helps.

Not in my experience. The fun thing about this racetrack and cars is the unlimited variety the track can be designed into but I did buy 2 tracks. My grandchildren LOVE it, even up to 8 1/2 y/o. The track is very durable and kid-friendly. The cars are not as durable but I am so glad to see cars are available separately.

Both standard size Hot Wheels and Match Box cars work well. My grandson primarily uses Hot wheels, and as long as it is the fastest, it could be anything. He loves playing with the track, usually brings it whenever he comes over. Good luck --lots of fun.

You can push or use any cars that fit inside the track. The track is wide, so that should apply to most toy cars.

I don't know It seems like it should since it was made by Hot Wheels but it is the only track our little grandson has.

No - the track is specific to the cars that come with it. They have to be a certain weight to work best

I suppose you could use your hand to drive a hotwheel car around this track, but in order for it to work correctly you need the battery powered cars that it comes with in order to move the car around the track and up the elevator on it's own.

Yes, the battery operated engines can run of the Wooden Train Track 100 piece set. As with any track, you may fine some bumps along the way and need to help the engines along--but adjusting the track or swapping out pieces usually fixes it.

Yes but as mentioned the are very small and hard to keep track off. No other cars fit on the track. However, my grandsons loved it but not sure where the cars are at this point. Bought it at Christmas time..

I have found that all Hot Wheels brand cars work with this set... The cars from the Disney movie Cars seem to be a little wider and sometimes don't fit the track well. Hope this answers your question.
